Thanks!! It's a challenge to walk the boundary of "getting to know you in a different sorta way" fic.

So, I come back from a month of internet-less vacation to find out that you have started writing a new story that, as I would come to know, INCLUDES, among other stuff, LOTS OF KISSING AND TONGUE-EXPLORING.

GOD, I've missed your writing! I love the flashback/forward style of your story and I would love to see if and how you are going to related those 2! I could write a whole essay as a comment here, about your amazing writing, about how much I love that you picked up right were you left it in the previous story, about the wonderful prologue, about your outstanding ability to make both characters (but especially James, because I consider him the hardest character to explore in a fic) seem so realistic and Lost-like and, of course, about how you somehow manage to make everything you write about so believable: what I mean is, you not only (re)create realistic characters, but also situations, bonds that tie them and relationships. And I will always love your stories for that! ;)

Since the dawn of time you have always been one of the most wonderful commenters ever. Look at you and your mini essay here, warming up my heart. Thank you for being a) so kind and b) letting me know why you like it and c) thank you most of all for reading!!

Another really nice moment you captured between them. I also liked when Juliet was thinking about the men in her life earlier in the chapter - it's understandable why she'd be so hesitant with Sawyer. Good cliffhanger, too :)

I'm a cliffhanger whore - you may start to throw things at me soon! :p

Well, for now I don't have to wait very long until the next chapter! :P
